Although the wireless telegraph station on.\the Tinakori Hills overlooking Wellington has an outward range of only 600 miles at night, it appears (says the *7New Zealand Herald") that there is a special reason why there should be a limit to the distance messages should co.ver' from all the wireless stations in New Zealand excepting the high-power one in the north of Auckland. The multiplication of wireless stations of long range would nullify communication altogether, as the waves from the different stations would intermingle and make it impossible to distinguish a message when several station® were sending messages at the same time. Therefore it » not intended that more than one station in the Dominion should use powerful enough appliances to send messages to Australia. The station in Wellington has far exceeded expectations, the comiianding position which it occupies being very much more favourable for the work than wa« afc first anticipated.
